EXPLANATORY NOTE

Rule 805 was amended, effective March 1, 2014.

Rule 805 provides that double or multiple hearsay statements are not to be excluded if each
step is admissible under a hearsay exception. Thus, a dying declaration containing another
declarant's statement of his present sense impression wouldcould be
admissible.

Rule 805 was amended, effective March 1, 2014 , in response to the December 1, 2011,
revision of the Federal Rules of Evidence. The language and organization of the rule were
changed to make the rule more easily understood and to make style and terminology
consistent throughout the rules. There is no intent to change any result in any ruling on
evidence admissibility.
